You make a motion to the court for a continuance and have grounds (legally sufficient reasons). If you don't know what you're doing get an attorney to do this, but most attorneys won't get involved for one motion. And for a jury trial you should have an attorney. If it's a criminal offense you may be entitled to an attorney if you can not afford one; this is one of the "Miranda" rights you have.
